LETTER: IRS has targeted liberal groups too

The current IRS "scandal" being hyped by the right is really nothing new. Previously Greenpeace and NAACP have been harassed in exactly the same way.

Responsible parties will, I'm sure, be fired. They should be. I submit that the best way to stop this thing from ever happening again is to do away with 501 (c) (4) status for all organizations. It is really ludicrous to think that any of these organizations, including Moveon.org do not act primarily politically most of the time.

In the interest of full disclosure, I do belong and contribute to Moveon.org. It is, however, in my estimation, a fantasy to think these groups function as "social welfare" bodies.
